Cylindrical Element Momentum

In summary, the equation for momentum in a cylindrical element is p=mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. Momentum is conserved in a cylindrical element as long as there are no external forces acting on the system. The momentum equation can be applied to fluids in a cylindrical element as long as the fluid is incompressible and there are no external forces acting on the system. The significance of the radius in the momentum equation for a cylindrical element is that it represents the distance from the axis of rotation and affects the angular momentum of the system. For a rotating cylindrical element, the momentum equation becomes p=Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity of the system.
